Surrealism is a term that relates to a cultural movement that occurred during the 1920's when a group of artists and writers founded it )based on the idea of imagination, dreams and the opposite to reality basically) in France. Surrealism effected the cultural movement of the world and influenced the worlds artists and writers and changed the movement in the Art world.

Man Ray a French photographer was influenced by surrealism and created iconic imagery which combined both surrealism and sexuality and is one of the most dated influential surrealism photographers.







These images were taking by Man Ray in the 1920's in the early stages of photography.
The images include nude poses which was quite rare in the days when these were published which works well in the surrealism style as it is something unexpected and risky.
